Decision Support for Heart Failure Prescribing
New Solutions to Support Evidence-based Prescribing for Heart Failure
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 2 Jun 2026
Brief summary (registry, in English)
Clinical decision support (CDS) tools can 'nudge' clinicians to make the best decisions easy. Although required by "meaningful use" regulations, more than 40% of CDS lead to no change and the remaining lead to improvements that are modest at best. This is because CDS tools often ignore contextual factors and present irrelevant information. Although many tools have undergone patient-specific optimization, 'traditional CDS' are rarely clinician-specific. For example, a traditional CDS tool for beta blockers and heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) addresses common prescribing misconceptions by stating asthma is not a contraindication and providing a safe threshold for blood pressure. For clinicians without these misconceptions, these statements are irrelevant and distract from key information. A 'personalized CDS' would evaluate clinician past prescribing patterns to determine whether prescribing misconceptions might exist and then conditionally present information to address those misconceptions. The objective of this research is to create personalized clinician-specific CDS that overcome shortcomings of traditional CDS. The central hypothesis is a personalized CDS that minimizes irrelevant information will lead to a higher rate of prescribing guideline-directed management and therapy (GDMT) for HFrEF compared to a traditional CDS.

Built from the registry fields of ClinicalTrials.gov. It describes the study, not your situation.
Who cannot take part
Copied verbatim from ClinicalTrials.gov and grouped by topic. Only the trial team decides who can take part.
Other
- Clinicians who do not practice in cardiology or primary care clinics or do not practice within UCHealth system.
Who the study is looking for
- The study subjects are potential users of the CDS, specifically clinicians with prescribing privileges who practice at one of the health system's (UCHealth) outpatient cardiology or primary care clinics. Because we are observing their prescribing behaviors, we are also evaluating patient characteristics which could influence their prescribing decisions.
Age in the registry: 18 years to 89 years · Sex: All · Accepts healthy volunteers
